h2haxor Posted December 27, 2006 CID Share Posted December 27, 2006 I got a new router for x-mas, and it's a linksys BEFSR41 v4, and i'm attempting to play halo 2 with my xbox on Xbox live. using the xbox's connection tester it tells me that my NAT is Strict, even though my connection to the server is awsome Latency: 39ms (58ms) packets: 25/25 i can't join anybodies game in halo 2. i've exauhsted every thing i know about routers and NAT, forwarding the xbl ports, setting my mtu to 1365, putting my xbox in the DMZ and talking to support online and on the phone for hours. now it's time for the big guns..... testmy.net . So can you help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted December 27, 2006 CID Share Posted December 27, 2006 The reason it wont work is because it isnt supported.. There is a huge post on the xbox 360 forums about this problem. I would keep my eye out for a new firmware from linksys. Until then I would maybe invest on a cheap router or upgrade to a WRT54G or GL. http://forums.xbox.com/1636968/ShowPost.aspx For some reason the website isnt rendering correctly.

Swimmer Posted December 27, 2006 CID Share Posted December 27, 2006 I am sure that Linksys will release a patch for the firmware so that you can run XBL. Seeing as how the v3 router earned XBL certification I am sure that eventually the v4 hardware will be certified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h2haxor Posted December 27, 2006 Author CID Share Posted December 27, 2006 what should i do til then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted December 27, 2006 CID Share Posted December 27, 2006 You could set up an ICS system. Using two NICs on one computer and running your internet into that one computer. Then using your router as a switch. The only down side is that your ping might not be as good and the main computer is going to have to be online anytime someone wants to use the internet.

Blunted 2 Posted December 27, 2006 CID Share Posted December 27, 2006 i had that router but a lower version and it worked fine as long as it was 1 xbox only and as soon as 2 xboxes got online it would mess up. try putting the xbox as 192.168.0.250 and then go into the router and make the dmz that ip and it might work cause mine worked like that. dont know why the xbox had to have the ip before i made it the DMZ but it worked that way so its worth a shot. does the router have UPNP on there ? that could make it work also swimmer my ping is the same as i only play games through my PC with ics and never have a problem at all and i get host about 99% of the time on halo 2 with my connection so i guess it depends on your setup and equipment.

h2haxor Posted December 27, 2006 Author CID Share Posted December 27, 2006 whats your gt if you play halo 2? and i've tried everything there is to get it outa strict NAT. DMZ, port forwarding, UPnP, QoS, changing the router's ip range, changing my MTU, cloning the xbox's mac address, disabling the firewall entirely, disabling the NAT(couldn't connect at all after that) i don't know :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
